Remove the alias from .xsession and put it in ~/.bashrc
Make sure your ~/bash_profile file loads the .bashrc file:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
   source ~/.bashrc
fi

Usually this is already in there so you just need to uncomment
this.

Then from X load an xterm or eterm and the alias should
be available
